As part of Marvel's practice of announcing things literally years before they will occur in any meaningful way, they've announced that James Spader will play the eeeevil robot Ultron in The Avengers 2: Printin' Money.

James Spader will face off against Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as the villain in Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, the sequel to 2012’s record-breaking Marvel’s The Avengers. The Emmy Award-winning actor will play Ultron in the Avengers’ much anticipated return to the big screen from writer/director Joss Whedon. The film comes to theaters on May 1, 2015. (Via.)

NOW THE ONLY QUESTION REMAINS: HOW WILL JAMES SPADER PLAY THE EEEVIL ROBOT ULTRON? As I see it, he has three options; let us hope he chooses wisely.

WACKY LINCOLN ULTRON?

SKEEVY, PEED-ON-BY-JACK-NICHOLSON WOLF ULTRON?

NERDY STARGATE ULTRON?
Perhaps I should explain this one. This is a slideshow, you see, set to Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack," featuring still images of both Spader and actor Michael Shanks (okay, it's mostly Michael Shanks) playing the adventurer scholar Daniel Jackson in the film Stargate (Spader), as well as the spinoff television series Stargate SG-1 (Shanks), and... man. The internet. Anyway, maybe this means Michael Shanks can play Ultron in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

In conclusion, wow. Wolf is a weird movie. SUEDE SHOES! ASPARAGUS!
